- • Citrus trees Fertilize...
If you want to know how I get big sweet citrus this is the video for you. This is how I grow what I like to call "SUPER CITRUS!" Lol... You can't loose fertilizing you trees and plants with this method.
CHECK OUT MY UPDATED VIDEO ON THESE LEMONS 🍋 . This is what happens when you use the the things I have stated In This video. YOU WANT RESULTS? WELL HERE IT IS. 😉

what size are the containers the trees are in?
Hello, may I ask where you store the plastic container that have the eggshells while you are saving them each day?
I got my nose on my phone screen smelling the trees
Growing up my mother always put egg shells in a gallon jug of water to water her plants and they were large and healthy. Now I make egg shell water for my house plants and they are lush and healthy. No store bought fertiliers.
MissBttrsctch No. I just drop them in an old bleach bottle with water.
How Often do you put egg shells in your plants
wildbeast Gaming I put them in the water in an old jug and after the water has sat for a few days I use the water only to feed my plants once a month. The egg shells attract gnats if you leave them in the soil. On Instagram page you can see some of my houseplants if you scroll down. Marygcb5. I hope this helps.
I do the same but I take it up a notch and make my own liquid fertilizer essentially you take a bunch of plant clippings lawn clippings etc and chuck em in a bucke a bit more than half of the way and fill the rest with water and let it sit for a minimum of 3 weeks to let it really break down this in turn gives you a super potent all natural plant fertilizer rich in nitrogen and other essential nutrients it also depends on what you chuck In the bucket but just a bit of that diluted with lots of rainwater and you got the most beautiful lush plants you've ever seen I also can't understate how much you gotta dilute this liquid as it's so potent i use around 10 parts rainwater to 1 part fertilizer and it just keeps on getting stronger the more it sits
I always so happy when I’m looking for a particular topic and LF73 pops up on the list. Peace
THANK U!!!! I had 1 lemon. ONE. Put some powdered eggshells and coffee grounds in the soil and. . .NEW FLOWERS ARE BUDDING & the leaves all look great now!! No yellowing leaves. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not a coffee drinker but would unused coffee grounds be ok to use?
@@Diving_fanatic you could take a sieve and line it with paper towels then lay down your grounds then pour over hot water. Discard(or find another use for the coffee) then use the grounds.
I used a mortor and Pestle to turn the shells into flour. Plants can use it faster. YOU HAVE BEES? Well, that says a lot. Egg Shells = Calcium. You have beautiful Citrus.
I leave the crushed eggshells on the surface because it prevents snails from decimating the my citrus tree’s leaves and blossoms. They are voracious here in central Texas!
I throw egg shells, coffee ground, tea bags and all fruit and vegetable scraps on my compost pile.
From there it all goes into my garden. Soil is extremely rich and full of worms. Plus, as added bonus I get all kinds of "volunteer" seedlings popping up. Nice surprises...Once they are of good size, I transplant them. I have many peach, cherry, apricot, pear, apple, citrus, avocado, papaya, etc trees that all started this way.
THANKS for SHARING this INFORMATION! Just planted some orange trees and was looking for a fertilizer I could make myself instead of paying big $ for store bought fertilizer. You the man!
Again, thank you!
mark1952able thank you so much. It works like a charm for me. Every year! You can see that I use this on all of my fruit trees on my island and get the same results.
Came back to your video because I just sprouted 5 new lemon seeds and I'm trying to get into using more natural alternatives to fertilizers and you do such an amazing job on your trees!! And even if eventually, my lemon trees never grow lemons, I'll be happy just rubbing the leaves and getting that great lemony scent off the leaves!! Thank you for sharing and stay safe and well Sir!!💚🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've used coffee ground for years. Trees can't get enough becuse it's pure nitrogen with all the acid burned out. It's also the best soil amend and worm food on the planet.
I called my first citrus tree " Summer" . I just bought it from the nursery on june 21st. I will take into consideration all your secret advice. and I thank you very much for that!!
This is so great. Love your commentary! SUPER CITRUS! I love the organic way method :D
I'm new to growing citrus trees and Im glad I found you..
Ruth Morales thank you so much. I will do all that I can to help ya.
I boil my eggs . And then I put them in a bullet grinder. Down to almost a powder. Then I put it in my lemon tree with my coffee grounds just like you thank you for your info.
How often do you add it?
coffee grounds are toxic to most potted plants, they are far to acidic and they form a crust on the surface which is water impervious.
Ants don’t like coffee grinds either so I scatter them and tea leaves in my garden and house plants.
Thank you. I am stressed out about fertilizering my Persian lime tree and my kalffer lime trees. Your video helps and will be saving me big money on fertilizer. Thanks again.
Omg. Thank you for your tip on how you fertilize. Your awesome!!
You’re*
Really enjoyed the video. It is good to see someone enjoying what they do. I am a new resident to Florida and just planted some citrus trees in my back yard. I also love eggs. I did a search to see if I could put the shells on my plants without hurting them. That is how I found your video. I remember as a child, my mom put eggshells and used coffee grounds on her flowers. They always looked great. You're right, cameras do not do justice to the beauty in nature...and there is no scent like that of blooming citrus.
Those trees look great! Good to know that you can just use things you have around the house for fertilizer!
You ARE a wonderful Gardener- Thank You for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I don't own land yet, but I've wanted to be a beekeeper for years. I've decided to start growing a few citrus trees on my patio in good faith that in 3 years time, I'll own my own home with at least an acre of land so that I can bring my dreams to life. I tell you that because I want to thank you for giving me the knowledge I need to so! I truly appreciate your videos! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much ☺️❤️🌹
Thank you for sharing your secret. I nearly fell into the temptations for synthetic fertilizer this morning.
honestly I am so glad I bumped into your channel. just listening to how you enjoy showing the flowers buds on the fruit trees and all your trees brings joy! everything is beautiful. I had a peach tree that I planted in the yard and it gave fruit for 3 years then it got a bunch of little hole in the bottom of it and died. I couldn't help be sad about it because it was for my daughter.
Thank you. Ive been using eggshells and coffee grinds as well. I just started but good to know im off to a good start.
Love your videos. Trying citrus indoors in Maine. For the love of plants!!!
This is so AWESOME! I've never seen a real fruit trees before and how they start to grow the fruit like lemons and limes and grapefruit. This is the neatest thing ever! Thank you for sharing your tips and sharing your sowing and harvest with us!
Can I continue to fertilize with coffee grounds and egg shells all year round or should I stop fertilizing at the end of summer? Thank you in advance.
@@shirleyhaynes9463 hey sirley just do it once a month
Are you from Mars🤣🤣🤣?
Paul Schaefer thanks for the advise my friend, I will try that this year.
I love your enthusiasm!! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Thanks for the tip. The trees look great.
love it brother..... .I just got some lemon and orange cuttings and I trimmed and bagged them in potting soil tonight but added coffee grounds to one of them ....my tomatoes love coffee grounds too....
I have a lemon tree 🍋 and I purchased my first lime tree today! So happy!!
Hello leadfarmer73. Thank you for sharing "my secret ". "Super Citrus"! Which is what I want for my two lemon trees, and to avoid the use of chemicals. I have one lemon tree that I purchased from a small garden store and the other lemon tree from Home Depot, this is the lemon tree that is growing lemons, but a few of leaves are a light green in color, with a few yellow leaves. The other lemon tree has a deep dark green color and has not grown lemons, and it is so pretty. I have the trees planted in planter pots. I am from Napa California, both trees from California. Currently residing in Indiana. I also use rain water and during the winter months I bring the trees indoors.
I have also replanted the lemon tree that is growing lemons with the light green leaves. I will cut down on the watering.
I have baked my egg shells. Like to know, do you recommend Starbucks Decaf Expresso, Dark Roast, 100% Arabica Coffee? I don't drink coffee. Can I grind the coffee and add to my lemon trees ?
Cheers!
You be getting it in on the plants.. keep it going thanks for showing love and info🌞
Aa A thank you so much ☺️ I’m doing my best out here 🤣😂🌹
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I’m going to follow your instructions
Rain water is great. I set up about 12 rain water collection barrels at my house a few years ago, and the garden looking so much better now that we primarily use rainwater. It was definitely worth the 300 bucks or so it took to set them all set up. I grow a lot of acid-loving plants like strawberries and I've just started on citrus, which also like pH < 7 soil, and rain water helps keep the soil pH low.
How beautiful .. I’m just learning. I have one grapefruit tree. Lol. Thanks for the advice ! I can smell your beautiful trees all the way in Arizona and 2 years ago. Lol. Be blessed !
Susie Williams thank you so much my friend. 😉
Excellent! Thank you Sir, a pleasure to watch!
Thank you. I was looking long time for this
love the commentary.. I've started using the same method and it seems to work great on my saplings.
Love the way you say SUPER CITRUS!
"Pruned-to-death" baaahahaa! That's exactly what I did to mine!
Thanks for sharing and I'm gonna try your recipe.
Beautiful. I can almost smell them, great tips. I was thinking coffee grains would work and stuck some on my lemon tree last night. Now I have your confirmation. Thankyou
I like your natural methods!
You are awesome Sir! Thank you!
I love your video's you give great tips. I recently moved and started me a fall garden so wish me luck lol.
Thank you very much for your info. I've been using banana skin and tea ..I'm. going to start a new plant with coffee and eeg shells..I wish you much love and light. from England. stay blessed
Alrighty!!! I'm gonna try citrus one more time. This time I believe I'm prepared. Thanks 🤗

Beautiful job! Can tell they are your babies...
Thank you for sharing... I have 2 beautiful Calamondin citrus trees, and they produce all year long. Unfortunately, I moved to my new house. I'm trying to grow from seed from the parents trees. So far, so good... only 3 month old plants and germinating seeds indoors. I've been also, successfully germinating grapefruit, lemon and orange. Again, thank you.
Thank you for your knowledge.
God blessed you with a green thumb. Glad to find your channel.

😍😍lovely citrus garden!!!
Sonny Gunz thank you so much 😉😊☺️
Dude. I’m jealous. And thank you for showing us your trick
I'm just getting into growing citrus and man it's fun I started with blueberries. I have grapefruit or blood oranges growing out back six new little babies. I have two Meyer lemons and two that I rooted from cutting. Also have a key lime. Pretty excited about making my own fertilizer now
wow I just love all your vids. you have taught me so much. I'm healing from cancer and I thank the Lord for you. bless you always sir. love you in Christ
No thank the lord for you. It’s kinda like the chicken and the egg effect. Would I even be making videos about this stuff if you didn’t care? Lol... I need you just as much as you need me. I am a retired nurse and I have seen your struggle first hand. One piece of advise. Just remember doctors are just people. Humans make mistakes all of the time. Never trust them 100% trust in God and you be fine. I’m so glad you came to check me out. Feel free to ask me anything and I will do my best to give you the best answer. Bless you young lady.
Thank you Leadfarmer ... I needed this, I live in a country where I don't have access to anything but what you've been using, I was told the coffee grounds and have been doing that but didn't know about the egg shells so thanks again. I have been raising chickens more like a hobby, was given some Texas Roosters from the US and I have hens they keep laying eggs in the yard, found neighbors dog eating the eggs when the hen got off them this morning, real depressing but the video gives some great ideas.
mcalleyboy thank you my friend. I try to tell people that this is not my idea. This has been around since cavemen lol... nobody ever stops to ask " what did people do before chemicals?" Well this is what they did. They used everything that they could to fertilize their crops. They used scraps of food like fish, they used poop, you name it they used it. It has been working for hundreds of years but folks just forgot about it because chemicals are so easy to find and use.
@@LindaQueLeenda Finally have 5 large dogs of my own, so I'm able to keep other dogs out plus nobody is stealing our taro roots anymore lol.
thanks for you.
I learned a lot.
Thank You for your Secret my Lemon tree🍋 is going to LOVE ME!!🍋💛
Thanks for the video I learned something new
ADLH ADLH any time my friend. It works and it’s free.😉
Those trees are beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for this video
I know this is an older video but thank you. I drink coffee and I have pet chickens. I'm just now getting into growing fruit trees. This is so easy. I will do this. I have a mortar pestel too for crushing the egg shells.
Thank you for your info.
I heard about composting eggshell but never heard of baking them, a Great idea. Makes me want to grow citrus just to smell the fragrance. Be Blessed my Brother
I live in Lawrenceville ,and you correct about the smell I told my in new-York if I don't get fruit the smell is still worth growing them,thank you,have a great day.
Yes it's worth the smell. Plus the smell goes away in a week or two anyway. I use to work at shaw carpet there by cartersville. That's som good soil around those parts, you should have no problem gardening around there.
leadfarmer73 what do u think about chicken poop that u can buy in bags ? can u just give the citrus trees all year and that's all?
great vid
William Cervantes 9
William Cervantes poop is great but your tree needs other micronutrients. Poop is mostly just nitrogen.
Good to see the no chemical approach. Loved the video. Subscribed. Be blessed!
Promised Land Heirlooms thank you very much my friend. It just plain ole works! People have been doing this kind of thing for ages and everybody think that it's some new trend. I'm just doing what our elders did that's all. Simple but super effective.
Promised Land Heirlooms subd right back at ya. HEYYYY.... I'm first on your channel YAYYYYYYYY LOL.... now I'll be waiting for those videos to come rolling in soon lol... God bless.
leadfarmer73 How often to you give your citrus plants the coffee grounds and eggshells?
Thanks for the information friend :) Your citrus trees look great!
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. If you ever have any questions please feel free to ask my friend.
How often do you put in the coffee grounds and egg shells into the plants?
I love citrus trees too. Thanks for your secret
I’m going to try it! Thanks.
Right now I’m just growing beautiful leaves!
Started using coffee grounds on my blueberries it has helped a ton. I'll do this on my new citrus plants
I decided to start to grow my own garden including citrus tress in Az so Thank you for yr tips I need all the help I can get since I have no idea what I’m doing but I need to grow some food to help feed my family. I’m trying😞
My mouth is watering.
You are awesome!
thanks for the advice!
Plants,birds and Nature no problem my friend.
Thank you for this information. I have lemon, lime, kumquat, orange, and mandarine trees. I have fertilized and every year only get a few fruit. I am going to use your method and see what happens. My guess is that I get more blooms and fruit! I really appreciate your help!!
While watching the video, I felt like a little kid again being told a story. He has such a love for his citrus. I will try the eggshell/coffee grinds for my Meyer Lemon Tree. And I will subscribe.
Nathan Longfellow thank you so much my friend for the best complement EVER!
Beautiful! Thanks
Icia Belchak no thank you. Lol...
Thank you, I am a new subscriber. This is good to know, as I just planted two citrus trees and an avocado tree in containers.
